Re: 'None of you believe in Santa do you?': Fury as teacher tells her class of five-year-olds that Santa is not real

well, parents do buy the presents and then lie to their kids that someone else did that. parents know that santa is a lie. everyone knows this. santa is not a religion or even part of Christianity. it really is not good to lie to kids when you know for sure the person does not exist.

Bullshit. It is lying to your children. They are people. When you lead them on a years long LIE it devastates their image of you and their own morality. How do I know? I specifically remember learning that Santa was a lie and being furious at my folks for tricking me. When I confronted them they just smirked. I hated them for it. Parents who lie to their children suck and it sets a horrible precedent.

My 5 year old flat out asked me and I said no wants is not real. Never once did I play that game. But niether did we say anything about it. They got enough of the bullshit from school. My boy was empowered with the truth and he was pleased with me for being honest. It taught him to always tell the truth no matter what.

You clearly have deep issues if you were furious with and went on to hate your parents because they let you believe in Santa....

Most of us normal, well-adjusted people believed in Santa as well, and remember it as a magical and wonderful time in our childhood lives that we wouldn't trade for anything.

Believing in fairy tales as a child, when your supposed to, and then learning the truth as you get older is NOT harmful; it is merely part of growing up. The VAST majority of us went through this process with no trust issues and no regrets.

Exactly! That's part of BEING A CHILD! To believe in the magical, whimsical things and enjoy those fantasies before you grow up and realize things aren't always so much fun and without a care! Wow.

No advocating to your kids to be creative and imaginative creates all those things...when a parent lies to their child it places a slight hint of...well if they lie about this...what else. It's a joke to think that lieing about santa is what creates imagination...

People have to steal the magic out of Christmas. I'd rip that teacher apart with words. I'd demand her to be fired, I shit you not. I'd file a complaint with the states DOE. I'd steal her happiness away, as she did the little children.

Wow...santa is not the only "whimsical thing" a child can enjoy.

The difference, is that the santa lie is perpetrated by the parents.

There are PLENTY of other magical fantasies kids can enjoy and believe in that leave the mystery wide open for the rest of their lives - faeries, mermaids, unicorns, etc...

Once they learn that santa is a lie, how much imagination do you think a child will bother with on the other magical mysteries? On the magical side of life?

Once they learn that santa was a lie, there will always be a spot of distrust. A lie is a LIE! A kid may "get over it", but the damage is deep and intangible.

And for people to blow it off (and any impact it has on a child) is a sad state of unawareness.

You people are brainwashed to the max! The point here is there is NO MAGIC IN CHRISTMAS! It's all a lie...if this is the only way people know to enrich a childs life and introduce magic...you all need to wake up. Lies will never enrich anyone or anything.

Re: 'None of you believe in Santa do you?': Fury as teacher tells her class of five-year-olds that Santa is not real

Is it any wonder that kids then don't believe in God because they find out they were told lies and fairy-tales regarding Santa, why not God too. Maybe it is by design. When and if I have children, I will not deceive them with the santa deception but will fill their little imaginations about the Wonder and Truth of the Kingdom of God and his Angels and the like. There is no need to lie to them. Kinda sets a bad precedent, no?

The pawns are in place, the stage is set. The question is, are you ready?

Righteous anger and Zeal does not equate to hate,pride or arrogance and are fully justified.

Is that supposed to be some justification for loading MORE bullshit onto their plates? Kids need to be raised without superstitions and grounded in reality. Santa is an idea, not a person and should be presented to them as such.

Re: 'None of you believe in Santa do you?': Fury as teacher tells her class of five-year-olds that Santa is not real

Ok asshholesTruth about what That the children were born on a shit hole run by greedy assholes and big corporations destroying the earth!!The magic is there and is coming after the rebootChildren need imagination WonderMagicThis is only the 3rd dimension , the bottom shit hole of everythingThere is much more out thereIt is a magical universe and anything is possible

Re: 'None of you believe in Santa do you?': Fury as teacher tells her class of five-year-olds that Santa is not real

You can't compare God to Santa as there is proof Santa doens't exist but no proof if God exists or not. This comparism is bullshit.

And what kind of person are you to lie to your kids about an obviously imaginary man Santa Claus (yes, based off the real Saint Nick who didn't ride his sleigh around the globe in 24 hours)? Lie to your gullible kids to broaden creativity? As if nothing else produce the same effect.You can still celebrate the holiday of Christmas without Jesus or Santa Claus.

Youre wrong...please refer to my bio of st. Nicholas on page one...add to it he DID fly around the world in a manner of speaking. He had seemed to doze off during a council once and when he awoke, he was chided. He answered while i seemingly slept I was on a ship in high seas during a storm and saved many Italian sailors while through the grace of God, calming the sea. Later a ship limped into the turkish port and the sailors when they saw the old Bishop exclaimed he was their rescuer. He often bilocated. There is a city in Italy that 1,7oo yrs later still celebrates in May the rescue of all on board by the red and white clothed elder man with a white beard.And if only the truth is allowed...lets make EVERY politician speak only when hooked up to a lie detector...lets ban Winnie the pooh, because bears dont speak to most people. Lets ban all but reality shows on tv.and ban gone with the wind and so on ad nauseum.

Re: 'None of you believe in Santa do you?': Fury as teacher tells her class of five-year-olds that Santa is not real

I don't think that people should be outraged about what everyone else believes about parenting their own children....Who gives a rat's butt what everyone else is teaching their OWN kids about santa claus?

What people should be outraged about is the fact that some strange person has set themselves up as an authority figure over other people's children and has the power to dictate what part of their parents' teachings are true and what are false.....

I realize that this is only a drop in the bucket compared to what really goes on in schools.....but - think about it. The schoolteacher has the power to undermine the decisions of the parents with regards to their own children....
